Chez Panisse Cafe Cookbook

"Alice Waters's seventh book and, I think, her best yet....Ms. Waters writes with such intense respect for food and passion for her purveyors that the reader can't but follow her lead....Although some recipes, such as duck confit with baked figs, are very involved, many are remarkably straightforward and accessible. Obviously sensitive to the quandaries of home cooks, Ms. Waters gives good descriptions about how a food should respond when being cooked and what it should look like when it is done. She also offers lots of substitution advice and reassurance about what to do when an ingredient is not be available....CHEZ PANISSE CAFE COOKBOOK has since found a permanent spot on my cookbook shelf."Waters, Alice is the author of 'Chez Panisse Cafe Cookbook', published 1999 under ISBN 9780060175832 and ISBN 0060175834.
